At least the white one changes the color of the click wheel. Jet Black however...changes the shininess?

I almost got the "Smoke" (white) one from ColorWarePC.com when I got my last iPod. Partly because I don't like the gray clickwheel, but more importantly ColorwarePC uses a scratch-resistant clear coat on all of their iPods. Ultimately, I decided I would get an invisible shield instead.

I have always been a fan of ColorWare. Sure it is pricey, but finished products look really good in my estimation and I may very well consider it if Apple remains with just the current B&W options. Aside from a far more vibrant color combo, the big selling point to many is the greater resistance to scratches.
